The Orion Sky: A Sleek Polycarbonate Roof System Built on the Orion Frame — Without the Louvre Price Tag
Looking for a stylish, cost-effective way to protect your outdoor space year-round? Meet the Orion Sky — a modern polycarbonate roof system built on the renowned Orion aluminium frame by Apollo NZ. Designed as part of the wider Orion System range, the Orion Sky delivers all the strength, durability, and architectural finesse of the Orion Prime and Orion Core systems — but swaps the operable louvre roof for a fixed translucent roof that brings in natural light while keeping out the weather.
Whether you're a homeowner designing your ideal patio or a business expanding your all-weather outdoor seating, the Orion Sky is a smart roofing solution that combines affordability, functionality, and high-end aesthetics.
A Polycarbonate Roof System Built on the Proven Orion Frame
At its core, the Orion Sky is built from T6 aluminium, the same premium-grade material used across all Orion pergola systems. This ensures exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability — even in New Zealand’s varied climate conditions.
All structural elements are shared with the Orion Prime and Core, including:
Concealed fixings for a clean, modern look
Internal guttering and drainage with no visible downpipes
Standalone or wall-attached configurations to suit your layout
Adjustable height up to 3 metres
This system delivers a seamless architectural finish that not only performs but enhances the visual appeal of your outdoor area.
Fixed Polycarbonate Roofing: Let in the Light, Block Out the Weather
Instead of adjustable louvre blades, the Orion Sky features fixed polycarbonate sheets that offer continuous coverage with excellent light transmission. This makes it the perfect solution when you want year-round protection without sacrificing natural light.
Choose your roofing configuration:
3mm polycarbonate for standard protection
5mm polycarbonate for added insulation and wind resistance
Available roof tints:
Clear – maximum sunlight and sky views
Grey tint or bronze tint – for modern aesthetics and shade
Opal – soft, diffused light ideal for family areas or glare-sensitive zones
These options allow you to tailor both look and performance to suit your space.
